About this listen

Rep. Logan Monson talks with Redge Johnson, director of Utah’s Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office, about Utah’s continued fight to keep public lands in public hands, managed locally. Not from Washington.

They break down the differences between Sen. Mike Lee’s federal public lands proposal and Utah’s own plan to create a state-run Department of Land Management. Rep. Monson and Johnson discuss the state’s recent lawsuit over unappropriated lands, the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the case, and the impact of federal road closures, monument expansions, and top-down restrictions on rural Utahns.

This episode highlights Utah’s vision for conservation through access, multiple use, and responsible local stewardship, not fences and red tape.
